Pilton Sucks dotCom

Friends and readers. The glorious eccentricity of a life less ordinary can offer all sorts of possibilities. Our rulers encourage all manner of delights to supress us and keep the plebians from making to much fuss about their lot.

We have indeed the delights of the most awful TV programme ever devised Big Brother, peep hole TV with an orwellian theme. Who in their right mind would regard this trash as remotely entertaining yet it has drawn millions of viewers over it’s life span and created z list celebrities out of nonentities.

We or a section of the population take an overly keen interest in the lifes of others so it comes as no real suprise that this rubbish was so popular. Locker room sniggering couples with mundane housemates made watching paint dry look interesting in comparison.

But let us move on dear friends and not cry into our handkerchiefs on the demise of such garbage. Let us look and smile at some more of the dross that continues to supress the plebs and take their mind off real reality in the guise of entertainment.

We at Pilton Sucks are the first to enjoy the odd giggle but realise that it is not to be taken to seriously after all it’s just make believe isn’t it? Neighbours, bought in soap opera trash at it’s very worse, although Home and Away runs it close. This tosh makes Crossroads for those that can go that far back look positively riviting, with it’s cardboard props and it’s even more cardboard like characters.

Remember the excitement over who shot JR Ewing it had the country on the edge of it’s seat even managing to get the top story on the Nine O’clock News, how moronic can you get, but it worked and took the minds of the punters to the land of fairy tales ond oil wells. It wasn’t that long ago that a Steven Byres a former Government Minister thought it was a good idea to put out bad news when there was a soap opera cliff hanger, so the voters wouldn’t notice to much, this shows exactly how our rulers use the media to manipulate events.

But that aside our media diet has gone mega with the advent of satelite telly,  cable telly,  free view telly and uncle Tom cobly and all.  What a feast for our eyes and brain melt down as more hours of complete crap is allowed on the airwaves. We have celebrity Chefs, how did that happen? if you fart on telly you become a celebrity, or maybe even a knighthood.

It’s gone mad as we worship at the alter of complete nonentities, who utter and that’s if they can string two words together total rubbish devoid of anything meaningful to say. Who can hand on heart say that Television has got better since we have had all this choice at a price of course.

Eastenders, Coronation Street, River City and all the rest of that mind numbing nonsence designed to let us poor sods see what passes for entertainment, where a good number of our fellow citizens believe that these characters are real, and the actors and we use that word loosely actually think they can act.

Now we all like to take our minds off the daily grind and toil of everyday life and a little soap might just do that, but then so could a good book. The reasoning that we need to have a little light in life is that grim reality is sometimes a bit hard to swallow, but we do and in bucket loads. So when you next switch on the gogel box try and find something that dosen’t peer into other peoples lifes. CBBC perhaps.
